[podcast] CAS9 and CRISPR Technology: Implications for Cosmetics?
Oct 25, 2017 | Rachel Grabenhofer with Stanley Qi, Ph.D., Stanford
"CRISPR, in my mind, is like a molecular GPS. . .People just type in some short array sequence, essentially an address, to find the target. Upon binding to the target, a pair of molecular scissors cuts the DNA and performs a repair to modify the DNA sequence."
Patent Pick: Delivering on mRNA's Promise
Oct 13, 2017
News about CRISPR and the Cas9 enzyme has permeated nearly every scientific—and even some consumer—communities. But there is one crucial area where these entities have not penetrated to any real appreciable level: the human body. A new patent may fix that.
Jump-starting Anti-aging, Healing and More
